No allegedly about it. They were a director there for decades.

Substantiated. She absolutely did serve as the director at Elan during her time there.

The Behind the Bastards podcast has a good episode about Synanon and The Elan School. It is fucked up...

Robert does real good work. My SiL was there briefly back in the day, you absolutely do not want anyone that had anything at all to do with that place anywhere near people in distress.

I listened to that episode ~6 months ago! I was so surprised when they said it was in Maine, I had no idea

Any more info you'd like to give?

If you click, there's plenty of info.

or how about just giving the info here so I am not clicking a potentially dangerous link. Yea, sure, it says change.org. Doesn't matter. I don't know what's on the other end. And if you folks are too lazy to tell me what this is about it must not be important enough to you.

...Do you not have anti-virus apps installed on your phone? They can help for stuff like this.
Or, just copy the link and punch it into Google and see if it's legit.

Not sure how I got lumped in to "you folks" as I am definitely not, but stop being a cranky ol' sour puss and just click. That's the laziness.

Apparently what eventually took the school down was an online campaign from a reddit user, the name is available online and maybe that person, or some resources are available that can help you out here. It might be worth a shot, especially if this person, or people, created an online voice big enough to shut down that place.

Clearly someone didn't do a background check. Or they did but they didn't really care.
Someone get Joe Nobody on this, stat!

There was a good documentary about the Elan School not long ago. Scary what was allowed to happen there.

Signed and shared to FB. Some of my activist friends might be able to help.

Wicked short recap: The link is a petition to "demand transparency" because one of the new Westbrook PD civilian assistants was allegedly a director at the Elan school.
